Description
The Boss is a thrilling card game for 2 to 6 players that's all about deduction, bluffing, and strategic maneuvering. With easy-to-learn rules, you'll be sending your gang members to different cities in no time, vying for loot and trying to outsmart your opponents. As you play, you'll gain more information about the potential rewards and risks in each city, and you'll need to use this knowledge to make tactical decisions about where to send your gang. As the game heats up, the stakes get higher, especially when it comes to dealing with the boss himself. With a playtime of just 40 minutes, The Boss is a quick and intense experience that's perfect for fans of mafia-themed games and social deduction. Designed by Alain Ollier and first published in 2010, this game has been entertaining players for years with its unique blend of auction, betting, and bluffing mechanics.
